I took a day trip yesterday, drove about an hour to go hunt a park that I've been to before. Took me a little while to finally hit a nice hot spot. The area was about 15 ft wide and 30 ft long. Every signal was either a deep wheat or a silver. As you can see my ratio of keepers to clad was extremely high today. I'm running the Equinox 800 in my cherry-picking mode, only digging from zinc's up. The barber quarter was an oddball, this park wasn't founded until 1925. I hunted for about six and a half hours.

A great haul !
 
Nicely done, congrats on the silvers and coppers. 👍
Query: What was the average depth of the coinage?

Nothing less than 7" 8-9" range on almost everything, very ugly signals, abnormal amount on edge as well.

That's a respectable depth for picking up the coinage, and being on edge that is understandable for the signal responses.
